About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this high-elevation landscape, where Reservation Ridge marks a clear boundary between the forest and the broken terrain of the Roan Cliffs. This 2020 topographic record highlights the complex geography of the Emma Park area, a wide valley corridor intersected by a network of drainage systems and isolated springs like Box Spring and Ripe Spring. The map documents the convergence of several county lines, including the borders of Utah, Duchesne, and Carbon counties, which meet in this area of intricate canyons and high passes.

Industrial and agricultural use is evident through names like Little Boulder Dam and Quarry Rd, alongside numerous named canyons such as Mathis Canyon, Sulphur Canyon, and Barn Canyon. These features indicate a history of land management and resource extraction in a region where water sources like Pace Pond and Willow Cr are critical landmarks. Local transit is traced via forest and ranching routes like Emma Park Rd and Martino Loop Rd, providing a clear view of the modern infrastructure within these traditional ranching and timber lands.
